Question

members of a soccer team raised $2074.75 to go to a tournament. they rented a bus for $1093.50 and budgeted $39.25 per player for meals. determine the number of players the team can bring to the tournament.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate remaining money

Subtract bus - rental cost from total money. Let $x$ be the remaining money.
$x = 2074.75−1093.50$
$x = 981.25$

Step2: Calculate number of players

Divide remaining money by meal - budget per player. Let $n$ be the number of players.
$n=\frac{981.25}{39.25}$
$n = 25$

Answer:

25
